Cable subscribers may get a refund
Saratogans who subscribe to South Bay CableVision may be eligible for a partial refund of $10 late fees paid between Sept. 1, 1991 and Nov. 30, 1994. The refunds come as a result of the settlement of a consumer-protection action between South Bay CableVision and the Santa Clara County district attorney's office in the Santa Clara Superior Court case People v. Brenmore Cable Partners, L.P. South Bay CableVision customers can file one claim for a $5 refund for each $10 late fee paid.
Current customers will receive an official claim form in the mail. Former customers can obtain special claim forms at Saratoga City Hall, located at 13777 Fruitvale Ave. All claim forms must be mailed by June 17.
